Hacked of with my immune system

I recommend lying on the couch and enjoying it.

 

2 hours of daytime TV should get you up and about in no time

I used to get every cold the kids had. Now if they start snotting I take a zinc pill and an echanasia ( sorry about the spelling ). I dont like popping pills but I think one a week this time of year is worth doing. Lay off the meat and eat fresh veg, an apple and orange a day. As soon as you drink alcohol it kills any vit c in your system so if you drink in the evening have a healthy meal at lunch time. Wash your hands regular in public places, avoid offices become a hermit. Works for me

Before you go to bed at night, try good old Vick, a dollop in a mixing bowl, add boiling water, head under a towel and spend 15 minutes breathing in the vapour, works wonders,

Get back to work ya big jessie, five mins up a tree and you'll have forgotten all about it.

See my response to work ethic in bobs comment. Five mins up a tree would be dangerous - I'm not a climber!! These days I'm the fat controller on the ground, par for the course in getting ill perhaps! Occasional cigar - and I mean occasional; a handful of churchills a year.

I'm only teasing, you have my sympathy, cold/flu is misery. I do think that getting outside and doing stuff is a good idea though, staying in and keeping warm just makes it last longer IME.

Yeah, neighbours had an all night party last night so little sleep (tossers) ! Decided I'm going to clearfell my facial forestry to feel fresh and then go for a walk in the woods - breathe in that clear sitka plantation air !!

Yoga seems to keep your body healthy (works for me) - keeps all the blood flowing to the right places. Got to find the right person teaching it though...

 

But you have to be prepared to leave pride and ego at the door as you enter the class...

 

It's the one of the least macho things you can do.
